WOULDN’T IT BE COOL IF YOU NEVER HAD TO STOP FOR GAS AGAIN?

The Nissan LEAF® is 100% electric. That means no gas. None. So forget about the cost of a gallon, and say hello to freedom from the pump. Because the only time you’ll be going to the gas station is whenever you need to put air in your tires.

Not 50%. Not 99%. 100% Electric.

No gas, ever. The 100% electric Nissan LEAF® motor is powered exclusively by an advanced lithium-ion battery that you can charge at home, or on-the-go. Meanwhile, hybrids have to carry around their electric drivetrains plus their gas engines.

WASTE NOT. WANT NOT.

Efficiency in every detailIt’s designed for efficiency, and that doesn't just mean the electric motor. With an aerodynamic body, regenerative brakes, and available LED low-beam headlights that use half the energy of traditional ones, the Nissan LEAF® gets more miles and more fun out of every kilowatt.

Aerodynamics

A flat underbody meshes with a front spoiler and rear diffuser, letting it slip through the air with minimal resistance. Up front, headlights deflect air away from the side mirrors, further reducing drag while minimizing wind noise and maximizing range.

The New Brakes

Regenerative Braking

The Regenerative Braking System captures energy while you coast or brake, recycling it back into usable power. A meter on the dashboard clearly displays whether you are consuming power, or gaining energy.

The New Fuel

Battery

With twice the power and half the weight of the nickel-metal hydride batteries used in traditional hybrids, the 24kWh lithium-ion battery helps make your ride ultra-efficient.

Solar Spoiler

The available photovoltaic solar-panel rear spoiler converts sunlight to energy, charging its 12V accessory battery and helping power accessories like the stereo, climate control, and headlights.

CHARGE AT HOME...

Home charging dockThe home charging dock lets you refuel your Nissan LEAF® in the comfort and convenience of your garage. That’s right—you refuel at home.

... AND ON THE GO.

Charging stationsCharging stations by the thousands are springing up all over America. They’re usually located in electric-vehicle-only parking stalls. And with select states offering EVs the unlimited use of carpool lanes, getting to one is a cinch. [*]

2015 NISSAN LEAF® PERFORMANCE

THE QUIETEST RIDE GIVES YOU THE BIGGEST THRILL

Do you hear that? No? Good. Because you shouldn’t. Electric motors don’t make noise like internal combustion engines. They just perform like them. They don’t use traditional transmissions with numerous gears and ratios, either. It’s just stop or go. And in the Nissan LEAF®, go means go.

GET UP AND GO!

Performance you wouldn’t get from a V8You've never driven anything like the Nissan LEAF®, and you've probably never felt anything like its instant torque. The power is there when you touch the pedal. There is no lag, no revving-up or shifting gears—it just goes.

2015 NISSAN LEAF® INTERIOR

GET PRACTICAL WITHOUT GIVING UP FUN

From the moment you hear its signature power-up chime, you’re in for a blast behind the wheel of the Nissan LEAF®. A heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel will keep your hands warm on chilly mornings. Ultra modern gauges and an easy-to-read Display Drive Computer puts information like range, battery charge level, and power usage info front and center. Fun that’s efficient. Practical that’s cool. The best of all worlds, all in one car.

INNOVATION FOR FIVE

The Nissan LEAF® is all about efficiency, but that doesn't mean this 5-door, 5-passenger hatchback skimps on interior finish or size. It comes with heated, folding rear seats made partly from recycled bottles, [*] tons of storage, a USB port, [*] climate control, and more. It’s everything you’d expect in a premium car, even if it weren’t electric.

SHIFT AHEAD

Drive selectorPark. Reverse. Drive. All the normal settings are there. But why settle for normal? Shift the advanced drive selector into B-Mode to increase the regenerative braking force, and brake response.

ROOM TO SPARE

Smart storageYou free up an awful lot of room when you take out things like transmissions, oil filters, and radiators. With the 60/40 split rear seats up, you can fit in three child seats, and still have space for your golf bag in back.
